6. Taken
On Film: Liam Neeson is a worrywart dad whose teenage daughter jaunts off to Paris and quickly kidnapped by nasty sex slave traders.
Fortunately for her, he’s a former CIA agent who specialises in tracking people down, dispensing rough justice and being chronically unable to hide his accent.
On Stage: Neeson agrees to a short run on stage while he waits for Steven Spielberg to finally get his Lincoln biopic up and running.
The audience participation portion of the evening does not go well when Neeson refuses to pull his punches during a “you can be in the final fight scene” incident.
Likely Lyric: “I have a very particular set of skills, you wouldn’t want to make me angryyyy. If you hurt my girl, I’ll see you killed, just you wait and seeee.”

Yup. Also was thinking the other day that ScarFace would make a great musical.. I like you Tony, you're not a fake or a phony and unlike my misstress you're not skiny and bony You came here on a boat from Cuba You didn't need a wetsuit or a snorkle or scuba, diving suit. And the classic end song.. Say, hello, to my little friend This isn't the start, it is now the eeeeeeeeend. etc. Yeah musical genious me. On a non mad note, Nightmare before Christmas would make a great stage show, why the hell hasn't that happened yet?

You know which of these shouldn't have been a movie? Starship Troopers. I mean, it shouldn't have been a movie in the Paul Verhoven style. It was a great book and would have made a great film, had they makers really cared that much about the story and characters and plotpoints. Poor Robert Heinlein. Has there ever been a decent adaptation of any of his works? I have seen two of his books as films, and got stomache cramps right after watching both of them: Starship Troopers and Puppet Master (Donald Sutherland).
